This listing is for one yard of reclaimed vintage Japanese fabric salvaged from a vintage Japanese kimono.

This fabric has a soft silky drape with a subtle honeycomb jacquard. The patterning is a collage of florals and leaves against a light gray-blue background.  If you look closely, you can see subtle crackling lines in the lighter areas of the design. This was likely created with the roketsuzome (batik) technique with uses wax as the dye resist. Click HERE if you are interested in learning more about this.

Great for piecework, especially when combined with other vintage kimono remnants. Multiple pieces may be available.

When we find vintage (circa 1950s but could be older or newer by two decades) Japanese kimono or haori in less-than-sellable condition, we salvage what we can and offer it to artisans, quilters, crafters, and designers for project work. So, the fabric has been previously sewn and though we carefully deconstruct the kimono, previous seam lines, as well as minor blemishes, may need to be worked around or trimmed away.

The inspiring designs, hand work, and the ageless beauty of vintage Japanese textiles make all the extra work so worthwhile. See video below for inspiration on upcycling vintage Japanese textiles.
